Amy and Dan are in a race for their lives . . . and the enemy may be even closer than they think.

When seven members of their family were kidnapped by a sinister organization known as the Vespers, thirteen-year-old Dan Cahill and his older sister, Amy, vowed they'd stop at nothing to bring the hostages home. But then the ransom comes in and the Vespers demand the impossible. Amy and Dan have just days to track down and steal an ancient map. The only catch? No one has seen the map for half a century.Now Amy and Dan are on a desperate search that will lead them to the Nazis, spies, a mad king and some of history's dirtiest secrets. It's the race of their lives . . . and one misstep will mean certain death for the hostages.

        July 1, 2012
        Eager to save their kidnapped family members, siblings Dan (thirteen) and Amy (sixteen), continue to take orders from their enemy, Vesper One. Crisscrossing the world, the Cahills search for ancient artifacts, while dodging Interpol and the conniving Wyoming siblings from the clue hunt. The high-stakes (if formulaic) plot moves quickly and builds suspense, while historical facts are woven into the stories.
